As part of our Geography lesson this afternoon, we were looking at what materials different buildings were made from. So we went for a walk around our school to see what materials that was made from. We spotted bricks, wood, metal, glass and slate!

In our Computing lesson this afternoon we have been thinking about what it is like to be a Beebot following instructions. To do this, we paired up and took it in turns to give each other some simple instructions on how to move around the classroom. The vocabulary we used were: Forwards, Backward, Left and Right. Mrs Tubby was very impressed at the clear instructions we gave each other! In this mornings maths, we were working in our table teams to order numbers from 1 to 20. We each chose a number card and had to make that amount using cubes and counters. We then worked together to place our numbers and amounts in order from the smallest number to the greatest number. Super ordering and team work Year 1! As part of our DT unit we are looking at children's playgrounds and the equipment we find in them. In today's lesson we thought back to when we went on our class walk around part of Kirton and stopped off to have a play at the Rec. We managed to remember all of the equipment in the playground and along with this and some further research through pictures and videos we then designed our own children's playgrounds. We came up with some fantastic ideas of what to include in our playgrounds such as zip-wires, water slides, sand-pits, race-tracks, trampolines, baby swings and even musical instruments! Mrs Tubby was super impressed with our designs. Take a look at some... Mrs Tubby and the adults were very pleased to see us all and our smiley faces this morning....and even more pleased at how hard we have been working this morning! In our maths lesson, we recapped some of our shape learning. We had a go at using cocktail sticks to firstly make 2D shapes which we found quite easy so then we had a go at making 3D shapes...this proved a little more tricky as it was rather fiddly.....but we persevered and some of us were able to make a cube. Great maths today Year 1....and super perseverance! This morning we made our own placemats and hats to get us in the spirit for our Christmas lunch in the hall. We had lots of fun and a very yummy dinner! We had a lovely day at the zoo, meeting the penguins and Father Christmas who even gave us a fluffy penguin of our own. We then had time to explore the rest of the zoo. We saw the Tigers, Sun Bears, Elephants, Rhinos, Giraffes, Monkeys, Chimpanzee's, Crocodiles, Otters and lots more! The children were very well behaved both around the zoo and on the coach! A big thank you to our parents who helped! Have a look at some of our photos from the day..... In our Science lesson this afternoon, we have been learning about our sense of hearing. We played a game in which Mrs Tubby played different sounds on the computer and we had to write down on our whiteboards what we though the sound was. We heard a police siren, a lion oar, lightning, kittens meowing, church bells, an aeroplane, Santa's sleigh, a rainstorm, a bird singing and many more....in fact we enjoyed the game so much we wanted to keep on playing! Good listening skills Year 1! We had a lovely, leisurely walk for our Geography this morning. We walked down and across the field at the back of the school, out onto Back Lane to the Rec for a play on the apparatus, then back through Paddock Close and Durilda Green. The chidren got to see some of the beautiful countryside they live and come to school in and the weather was perfect! Thank you to all the parents who kindly accompanied us! This afternoon in our Science lesson, we were learning about our sense of sight. We spoke about how important our eyes and sight are and how they help us to see and do many different things. We also spoke about how they make us aware of danger, for example they help us see if any cars are coming when we need to cross the road. We then used our sense of sight and also our memory to play 'Kim's game' (my memories of children's parties came flooding back!), For those unfamiliar with this game, we placed different items on a tray, covered them over and then took one of the items away and we then had to guess which item was missing. Finally, we each used a mirror to look closely at our eye and then drew it, labelling some of the parts.. |
